“Ndamukong Suh,” one player told Sporting News. “I mean, the step-on and the choke and the kick and the arm bar. Enough said, right?”

Said another player: “Suh. He hasn’t done anything crazy (this year). The type of hits he puts on quarterbacks, the way he finishes guys—some of them are legal, but a lot of them I’d say are over the top.”

Last year, Suh was ejected from the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers and later suspended for two more games for pushing guard Evan Dietrich-Smith’s head into the ground and stomping on his arm after a play in the third quarter.

The Packers have their bye this week and play at Detroit in their next game, Nov. 18. Dietrich Smith probably will be starting at guard in place of T.J. Lang, who will move to right tackle in the likely event injured Bryan Bulaga (hip) can't play.
